We made it! Daughters in Christ, we made it through this Lenten Season and I hope that you have all had the opportunity to dive deeper into your relationships with Christ and His call for all of you to become saints.

Hear we find ourselves at Holy Thursday bringing to close these Forty Days of our Lenten journey

“My appointed time draws near,” is a phrase that has ALWAYS stuck with me. The Lord works
in His time, not ours. I type this as an engaged soon-to- be-Bride about 6 months away from my Wedding, and I cannot help but smile a wry smile

I love Mother Angelica! I learned about her recently but I just love her quotes, they are pure truth and easy to comprehend and she had a witty sense of humor!

Today’s scripture reading relates to two sisters and a story that is very near and dear to my heart. Now, I think we all know this story from the Bible. There are two sisters who invite Jesus into their home and one sister, Martha, spends the entire time cleaning and cooking for Jesus while her sister, Mary, is sitting at the feet of Jesus simply listening to Him talk.

Blessed Palm Sunday sisters :) Have a beautiful, faith filled Holy Week!

Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly, That my life may only be a radiance of yours.

To truly know God is to be in a relationship with Him. To be in a relationship with Him is to understand your great dependence on Him for all things.

I decided I wanted to be a social worker when I was 17. I knew I wanted to help people and had that urge all throughout my life. I

I have an almost four year-old daughter who, for the lack of a better word, is obsessed with
Jesus. Not a bad thing to be obsessed with, right?

I’m sure you’ve heard of that great Doctor of the Church, Catherine of Siena. It’s well known that she was the 24th child to Giacamo and Lapa. That she was a joyous child and devoted herself to Christ at an early age.

There’s more than one way of knowing where we came from. Some are lucky enough to trace their family line to the early 1900s or even earlier than that. What most of us can do, though, is find aspects of ourselves within our extended family.

When you picture a family at prayer, you usually picture a family gathered around a table, praying over their meal. In reality, life can be so hectic that it’s even a miracle for a family to spend time together doing anything

Recently, my 4-year- old son came barging into the bathroom while I was taking a shower. “What do you need baby?”, I asked with hair soaped up, eyes squinted shut, secretly hoping he didn’t need anything very important.

The other night, after an early morning and an exhausting 6 mile hike, I was cleaning dishes after dinner.

My husband and I married when I was 22 years old. At the time, I was evaluating the life around me as a young adult, and part of that adventure was "rejecting" the religion of my parents, and essentially needing to find it through my own choices.

There are many sacramentals within the Catholic Church. A sacramental is any sacred sign which the Church states helps prepare us to receive the grace of God, whereas sacraments are gifts of the Holy Spirit as instituted by Jesus Christ.

When I was in the first stages of my deeper conversion, I was on fire for the Lord.

In 2014, I married the love of my life. The day after we got married, I hopped on a plane and moved to London (where my husband was already living), leaving my parents and siblings behind and going off to form my own household.

Why the law? God made man and began to form covenants with him. Covenants are serious!

Forgiveness. I chose to write on this topic because it’s one that’s hard, no make that very hard for me. It’s not something that I just fall in to naturally, at times, many times, I have to ask God for help when it comes to forgiving.

I don’t know if there was a particular moment where I determined my vocation to marriage and family life; it was something I always seemed to know.

We all long to be virtuous.  We all long for beauty, to be beautiful from the inside out. How can we create this within our lives of busy car trips, school and family demands, in a world that looks bleak and often offers nothing hopeful or promising

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." Jeremiah1:5

Having spent time as a missionary in Haiti, I’ve seen poverty up close and personal. I’ve held children whose swollen bellies are crying out in hunger.

Last Advent, I was fortunate to attend a three-day lecture on stewardship, delivered by Fr. Rafael Partida of the San Bernardino Diocese.

Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

I think for a lot of people, it is either easy to feel God’s mercy or extremely challenging.
